Glasgow attack suspect 'dying'
2007-07-11
Not sure if this is good or bad news. On the one hand, it's nice that he is dying, but on the other hand, it would be much nicer if he took much longer to die in agony.
A suspect in the failed terror attack on Scotland's busiest airport was unlikely to survive his severe burn injuries, a doctor who treated him said Tuesday.

Khalid Ahmed, 27, is in a Scottish hospital with burns suffered after allegedly crashing a Jeep Cherokee into the Glasgow airport a day after police found two unexploded car bombs in central London.

"The prognosis is not good and he is not likely to survive," a member of the medical team that treated him at the Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow said on condition of anonymity because details about patients' condition are not to be made public.

"He has third-degree burns over most of his torso and limbs. It is beyond repair and because he has lost so much skin he is now vulnerable to infection and won't be able to fight it."

Depend on your point of view.

"and he is not likely to survive"

And the downside is....?

#25  Just wrap him TIGHTLY in dirty sheets soaked in lemon juice.

RC, your reliability should be an inspiration to us all.

#24  Let's see...slather him in pig grease

Hell no. First, that's a horrific use of good lard. Second, it would keep the burns germ-free and might ease the pain a little.

Just wrap him TIGHTLY in dirty sheets soaked in lemon juice.

#21  Ya mean ta say that we could toss him around on the gridiron afterwards?

#20  Serious question. Isn't using pigskin for grafts part of burn treatment?

#19  Our Florida Black Vultures don't wait for something to die before starting. Then down in Miami a patient in the ICU was attacked by fire ants. My vote is with the fire ants, so much protein so little time!

Ha ha ha Khalid... Ain't no virgins here my boy... But the roasting you got was but a foretaste... Besides them virgins ain't gonna do you much good, I see something already got burned off... He he he.... And without that you might consider a burqua, so no one gets the wrong idea...

#17  I'd suggest packing his wounds in salt...but that might stop the infections from setting in.

How about vinegar?

#14  A lingering miserable agonisitc death for one who sought to kill so many in an instant is merely poetic justice. This cretin specifically timed his attack to coincide with the greatest headcount of parents and their children at Glasgow's air terminal. This rectal cavity cannot die slowly enough. The 9-11 atrocities erased any shred of humanity I might feel for Islamic terrorists. Each one of them should perish in the same fashion as Khalid Ahmed but without any painkillers. For these religious fanatics who are so joyous about slaughtering innocents in such abundance an excruciatingly drawn out demise comes nowhere near cruel and unusual punishment.

#13  Some thoughts...when he dies the brave lions of Islam will confer martyrdom upon him; but they also have the ..."he was denied proper care, he was murdered by the infidel doctors, he was tortured for information during his last hours, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum"... Sooooo, lets' just off the slimeball and be done with it.

#12  And the worst for him was the burnt pigmeat odor afterward. Will his muslim Dignity ever recover? doubtful.

#11  Let's see...slather him in pig grease, then put him in a crow's cage outside the airport so people can poke him with sticks.

Too bad all the old fun punishments are gone.

So they're alleged burns, too? Let me know when he allegedly dies.
